The next cabinet

[japancool]

So, it looks like Liz Truss for the next PM.

Cut taxes! Never mind how big the hole in the nation's finances will be.
It's right to give the wealthy more money! Yeah, that's going to help the majority of the country weather the economic crisis.

Jacob Rees-Mogg to be Business Secretary. I mean... really? I recommend Ozzy brush up on Adam Smith and Charles Dickens to make himself understood to the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. We'll have poor houses back soon.

Kwasi Kwarteng to be Chancellor - dunno, not sure about this one.

Let's make Tom Tugendhat Defence Secretary and start WW3 by bombing Russia!

If Keir Starmer is still Labour leader in 2 years' time, look forward to him as Prime Minister... and that's not a good thing.

it's no secret that this government wants to cut public spending and force a recession to "correct" market conditions. Never mind that it will literally cost lives.

Nobody seems to be aware - but we will run out of gas this winter. We will have to rely on electric heaters to get through it. We dont have the capacity to provide electricity to everyone in the country if there is no gas.

During the heatwave we were on the brink of electric shortages and blackout - UK had to buy electricty from France at 5000x the normal price.

Kwasi Kwarteng wants to remove the cap on bankers' bonuses.

It's clear where the priorities of this government lie.

reportedly enough to supply eight houses for a year. Hardly going to break the bank.

Not even worried about the cost - it's the principle of it. We had an electrical shortage in the summer - because everyone had their fans on. Imagine how it's going to be in winter when there is no gas and everyone is putting their electric heaters on.

You're being a little silly. There will be no shortage of gas because 40% of the population will not be able to afford to use any. Even if there were a shortage of gas there will be no shortage of electricity because 60% of the population will not be able to afford electric heaters.
